Instructions
1. Secure a resistance band to a stable anchor point at or above shoulder height.
2. Stand perpendicular to the anchor point with feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Grasp the resistance band with the hand that is furthest from the anchor point.
4. With a straight arm, pull the band across your body to the opposite side, keeping your palm facing down.
5. Ensure your body is fixed and resist any torso rotation as you pull the band.
6. Slowly release tension to return to the start position while controlling the band.
7. Perform the desired number of repetitions for one set, then switch sides to work the opposite arm.
8. Maintain a controlled movement throughout the exercise to ensure proper muscle activation and to avoid momentum taking over.
Tips: - Adjust the resistance by moving closer or further away from the anchor point or by using bands with different levels of tension. - Keep your core engaged and resist any lateral bending or twisting to maintain proper form. - Ensure you move through a full range of motion, fully extending the arm across the body without bending the elbow.
